BUSINESS AND MINING NOTES.
Recent Legal DecisIOns-COaI Pro-
ductiOn-M miscellaneous.

The Tomichi Valley Smelling Com
pany, of Gunnison, Colorado, are pur-
chasing ores in Salt Lake. 1t is hoped
that they will be stimulus to mining
interests, for the mines are the main
spring of business in Utah
The following recent legal decisions
clipped from BradStreefS OF the 5th inst.
are Of interest. When a charter for a
corporation has been obtained a sub

"ERMA, THE ELF"
The play In Which Katie PutnanI
Appears Tonight.

The st. Louis Republico" has this to
say of Katie Putnam, her company and
the play in which they appear tonight
"Katie Putnam, as pleasing an actress us
one would care to see, with III sweet a
voice as one would care to hear. and as
acceptable Il manner generally joined
with as bright and pretty face as one
would care to contemplate, opened a
weeks engagement last night as Erma,
in 7. G.. Dazey's new play, entitled,
"Erma, the Elf"
The dialogue in the play is in many
parts very bright, is always brisk, and
not unfrequently remarkably clever.
While the supporting company is gem
orally good, Fannie Matthias, Harry
Emery and Jas. A. Devlin deserve par
ticular mention. To conclude as this
article began, Katie Putnam is the at
traction OF the piece and gives it almost
all its life. She has many happy ways
about her, and seldom finds it hard to
please the most fastidous.

will be seen by reference to the Ogden

yesterday and it appears that an
investigation of the above mentioned
kick was their object. The complaints
made were to the effect that the Regis

and it is easy to guess that this was based
on the fact that the gentleman had been
very careful not to allow any unqualified

NO SPLIT.
William Brown VIII stand by tho
Liberal Ticket.

1t appears that the Peoples Party
voters of Ogden have become so excited
over the coming election and their GER
tain loss Of political power that they
have resorted to number OF mean tricks
to put Liberal voters off the track.
This morning rumor was started to
the effect that William Brown, who lost
the nomination for Marshal on the Lib
eral ticket, was going to run for the posi-
ton on an Independent ticket. That this
is put up thing is clearly proved by the
following dispatch received by THE
DEMoCRNr from tive Junction this morn
ing:
OGDEN, Utah. Feb IL.
Special to DEMOCRAT
William Brown emphatically denies the
imputation of his running for Marshal on
nm Independent ticket, and earnestly re-
quests all his friends, all Liberals and all
other good men to vote for William H.
Clark, the regular nominee of the Liberal
party. All is quiet. The prospects are

sufficient to satisfy Us that it contained
something more solid than letters or

THE SOCIETY GIRL.
Some of the Elements Essential to Her Sue
cess in Polished Circles.

Some of the Elements Essential to Her Sue
cess in Polished Circles.
Many people believe that the society
girl is synonymous with "the tailor
made girl" that she who can lay claim
to the most elaborate wardrobe, to tho
most ambitious tournurc, to the latest
Partisan wrinkle, to the services of the
most cxtortionate modesto, may call
herself Il society girl; but while they
are right in a degree, they leave out
the essential elements. She is not
merely a society girl by virtue Of her
clothes any more than she is a student
on account Of her library. Good
clutllrs are very excellent as far as they
60, and sometimes they do not 60 as
far as they ought, and the society girl
should take care not to follow this
style too closely. She must have a
rare fund of health to endure the wear
and tear of the scason-late hours,
standing on her feet, thin garments,
draughts, unwholcsome food ut unseas-
sonable hours: she must attract, not
on account of her although
there is no denying that pretty and
becoming costume shows art and en-
hanccs the peculiar charms of the
wearcr. if she happens to have any
and not always. by any means, on ac-
count of her beauty. since some of the
most successful have been plain
bellies. But she must have tact
and taste, and especially dis
erection; she must discover art and
culture, and know how to keep the
ball rolling under the most depressing
circumstances; she must not only know
how to talk, but how to listen elo-
quently; she must not be disputatious,
nor seem to show too much earnest
ness in the vital questions of the day.
Society is not the place in which to
preach woman's rights or other hob
bies; and she who would undertake to
set dinncr-tablc by the ears, so to
speak. with an expression OF her deep
est convictions, would be pretty certain
to receive no second invitation. There
are those who 60 so far rs to say that
the society girl should have no convic-
tons but the conviction of her own ac-
ccptability. She may have interests,
but no hobbies; at the same time she
must not be shallow. Still, the girl
who ignorantly aspircs to society puts
clothes first and culture last, has more
or less contempt for every thing but her
fallals. 1t is manner that carries the
day. and good nature and kindness,
even in socicty-the art Of making 9TH
crs happy, of amusing without appar-
cnt effort. Of being invariably agree.
able. Moods should not belong to a
society girl il she would be q success;
she must allow herself to be bored with
u smile. she must submit to dsappoint-
ments with Il bonmot, for society has its
price like other worldly things.

BASEBALL BATS,
Nearly q Million of Them Made In This
Country Every Year.

Nearly q Million Of Them Made In This
Country Every Year.
The manufacture VI basel ball bats is
an industry Of which few people out
side of baseball players and dealers
have any knowledge. A reporter was
asked by a Nassau street dealer the
other day to guess how many bats arc
turned out in America every year, and
replied "a hundred thousand. "A
hundred iidtllcsticks," returned the
dealer. 1.-The product last year was
eight times that amount. Nearly fifty
five thousand cords of wood were
worked up into bats. The majority
are made for amateur players. and are
wrought of American willow. This
wood is lighter than ash, and is conse-
qucntly more popular with young play
ers. Michigan heads the list in the
manufacture of bats, for in that State
the best wood is found. The bats used
by professional players IRE made al
moss entirely Of ash. This wood is
found to be the strongest and most
elastic. Only the best quality Of ash,
however, is of use, for the strain put
upon 1t Is tremendous. Then, too, it
must be perfectly seasoned.
bats are made in nearly every State
In the Union. The largest and most
noted factories are in West Virginia.
Illinois, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
New York and Michigan. The goods
are turned out by machinery, uniform
in size and pattern. A lathe and tho
right kind Of wood are the only re-
quiremcnts for their manufacture. The
factories Of the United States furnish
the world with bats, for orders are re.
ceiyed almost daily from Europe, Aus.
iralia and Japan. ~. Y. Mail and

I loved the fix the Indian was IN. ana
whenever he motioned as il he mean'
TO use his knife they shouted to INN 70
give the victim fair play. Sewell held
to him for fully five minutes, decorating
the hand like bull dog; ana then
three or four warriors seized him and
made him let go. The bitten warrior
r,linouished the knife to another, and
Iuring the next quarter OF IN hour
Sewcl suffered the loss Of his nose
ears, fingers and lips. He shricked oul
in agony when his nose was sliced on
but after that he never even groaned'
and consolcd myself with the hope
that he WAS dead. The Indians finally
became satisfied that they could get nc
more fun" out of him, and he was
scalpcd and the faggots ut his feet
were lighted to consume the body.

when one hunter had licked six OF
them: dared and detied them to do
their worst. had them worked up
until they fairly screamed for my
blood, and reasoned that the torture
would not last long. l was stripped
of every vestigc of clothing, bound
hand and foot to the stake, and, as in
the engineers case, two warriors made
ready to shoot powder into me. They
were loading their guns when, out
from the heavy growth Of cottonwoods
behind the camp, came line Of forty
men OH run, and just in the rear of
them sevcnty-Gve army troopers. ]
saw the men before any one else in
camp. Indeed, they were not pistol
shot away when the alarm was given.
1t was the quickest and bloodiest fight
on record. Six Of the dismounted men
pushed straight for me, knowing l was
likely to be killed by some savage. and
was cut loose and n revolver was
given to me before the fight was hardly
or. In ten minutes not living buck
was left in camp. We killed twenty
two and the rest broke ont Of reach.
Seven or eight old men, nine or ten
young fellows, and six squaws were
likewise killed. We captured ninety
two ponies, great lot of powder and
lead, several hundred dollars worth of
robes, and dealt the tribe blow it
never recovered from. What we could
not carry away we burned, and not an
article they could make useful was
left. tn !. SIN.
